For an ideal gas, these variables are pressure, volume, temperature, and number of molecules or moles of the gas. For systems in thermodynamic equilibrium, the thermodynamic variables are related by an equation of state. A heat reservoir is so large that when it exchanges heat with other systems, its temperature does not change.

If the system is in contact with a large temperature reservoir and the process occurs slowly, the system is always staying in equilibrium with its environment, keeping the temperature constant. All the heat the enters the system which is free, the heat added will go into the work being done by the gas at it expands.

Each process has distinct energy transfer characteristics shown in PV diagrams. These concepts apply widely, from gas expansion to biological and atmospheric phenomena.
